iTunes Album Art Problem

Yes, embedded is a better word.

 

I look for a quality image of the cover online, resize it to 300x300pix with Photoshop then paste it in the ARTWORK tab of the album on iTunes.

Sometimes one or two tracks will not retain the pasted image - I can't see it in iTunes if I select the track and do Command+I, and it doesn't show in a Finder window or in HQPlayer either.

 

I use iTunes to tag and manage my music library. Once in a while, I experience an anomoly like what you describe. I can usually fix it by importing the bad tracks into Audacity, then exporting them back onto the desktop at the appropriate bit depth and sample rate. I then re-import them into iTunes, adjust any track numbering issues, and re-paste the cover art into the Tunes artwork tab.

Don't know why this repairs bad metadata, but it nearly always works. BTW, I'm using AIFF files on a Mac.
